Lenovo G500 Review

Lenovo G500 is one of the most powerful entry level laptops with the best features in the market. Innovative Lenovo is a great brand for computers, building its reputation as a trusted manufacturer over time. Reliable and durable hardware, all-round features, speed and power that will give you more than you need on a daily basis. For example, two USB 3.0 ports at this price range?

Powerful Intel Pentium dual core B960 processor running at 2.2 GHz speed with 4 GB DDR3 RAM and 500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive.. You won't have any problems running a few programs smoothly and efficiently at the same time and you have an ample space to put all your music, videos and other files too.

15.6-Inch LED backlit HD display at 1366 x 768 pixel resolution- supporting 720p offers sharp images in 16:9 cinematic ratio widescreen, along with Intel HD 4000 Graphics.. Lenovo G500 also has really good dual stereo speakers and Dolby Advanced Audio that deliver clear and loud surround sound that you will no doubt enjoy while playing your songs, watching videos or playing games.

Although there is no touch screen, the AccuType keyboard with soft keys, a numeric keypad and a touchpad are great when using the pre-installed Windows 8 operating system.
Lenovo Energy Management is good for the longer time spent between charges and the long-term durability of the battery. Integrated 720p HD webcam, HDMI port to connect the laptop to HDTV, 2 x USB 3.0 ports to transfer data between the G500 and other devices quickly. It is easy to recover from technical problems and viruses with the OneKey Rescue System. You also have the standard 802.11 b/g/n WiFi wireless and 10/100 ethernet LAN to connect to internet.

Pros: Intel Pentium dual core B960 processor - Solid durable hardware - Nice keyboard design - Awesome sound - Cool display - OneKey Recovery System - Great overall package - Affordable price.
Cons: Windows 8 but it feels somehow much easier to use on this system.
Conclusion: It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Lenovo G500 has it all and it is possibly one of the best budget laptops in the market, if not the best.. You can even play some advanced games on it and work on memory intensive tasks without encountering any issues. The build is solid and we are certain it should last you quite a few years. So nothing more to say really, highly recommended at the current Amazon price!
